Fritz Horstman Art

American

Fritz Horstman was struck by the poetry in the unfinished state of the construction site, while working on a large building project, several years ago. He was drawn specifically to the space between the plywood walls that were raised as formworks, for the pouring of cement. That space could only exist for a few hours before the cement truck arrived, but at that moment, it was a revolving abstraction of potential, delineation, growth and destruction. Once filled, it was gone. The plywood was stripped away and the earth was backfilled. To suspend that moment, he began building models of formworks. Leaving them unfilled, they are perpetually unfinished. From models based directly on architecture, Horstman expanded to forms found in the landscape. Fritz Horstman works with the landscape and the perception of natural phenomena. He has recently exhibited his sculptures and installations in Brooklyn, Massachusetts, California, Japan, France and Norway and currently is featured in the “2016/17 deCordova Biennial," in Lincoln, Massachusetts. He has curated exhibitions in New Haven, New York and Svalbard. Recent residencies include Shiro Oni in Onishi, Japan and The Arctic Circle Residency. He received his MFA degree from MICA, in 2011 and his BA degree in studio art from Kenyon College, in 2001. He is an artist residency and education coordinator at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, in Bethany, Connecticut. Musically, he is half of the duo, Spacelover.

GS05, Geometric Abstract Multicolor 3D Mixed Media Wall Sculpture
By Zach Touchon
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
This artwork is part of a series called "Geometric Sculpture" and is a unique 3D sculpture that features a variety of vibrant colors including yellow, orange, red, blue, dark blue, and black. The sculpture is abstract in nature and showcases geometric shapes that add actual depth and space to the piece, making it visually striking and aesthetically pleasing to the viewer. Zach Touchon has expressed a desire to step outside the traditional square format and focus on movement and 3D effects. As a result, the sculpture creates shadows that further enhance the 3D effect, making the piece truly dynamic and engaging. Touchon has also mentioned his goal to create even larger pieces in the future, pushing the boundaries of the series and the medium itself. Overall, this artwork is a visually stunning and unique addition to the "Geometric Sculpture" series, showcasing the artist's dedication to creating pieces that challenge traditional art forms and create a sense of depth and movement. -- Zach Touchon is a contemporary LA-based abstract expressionist artist. Besides that, Touchon is also an actor, a singer, a screenwriter, and an owner of the Touchon Gallery. Zach Touchon is a second-generation and a successor to his famous father's, Cecil Touchon's, artistic path. By rethinking abstract expressionism ideas, using different media he creates large abstract artwork along with small collages, huge murals, and interior installations. The main focus of his art is depth and space and finding a semantic and aesthetic balance between them. As a muralist, Touchon joins the ranks of such great LA street artists as WRDSMTH, Retna, Shepard Fairy, and Dirt Cobain...
